Counter-Strike Global Offensive (CSGO)

Nice plays Tommy and congrats!

I'll be happy to just get myself back out of silver again. I came back so badly after a long adscence I went from Nova 2 to Silver III, haha. Silver Elite now, nearly there!

I solo 90% of the time so hard slog but I at least usually top frag around my level and rarely get battered. Tend to have lots of long games actually.
 
I hate cheaters :(. Happily stomping/getting carried them then they win 8 in a row to bring it to a draw. Ended up gold nova 3.

Such blatant cheats as well but there's no real way to report them after the match has ended :(. Thought it was suspect but wanted to confirm in replay before I reported didn't know you couldn't report afterwards seems a bit silly.
It's an outrage you got gn3 :D
 
Since I've started playing again, and noticeably since the "rate" update (when was that?) I seem to be getting a bit more consistent. Still thoroughly disappointed at my down-rank from LE or LEM, I forget, down to GN4 purely from inactivity. Still, crawling back up after just a few matches.

Result from one when I got in from work today - hackusations were free flowing!

Done the screenshot a bit early, they were a mix of MGE and MG2. So bad :/

Definitely getting better reg with the new rate options too. Still seems noticeably "laggy" on EU North and EU East servers, but much better than what I remember! :D My Xonar DG died last week too, so trying to pick up directional sound is much harder!
 
Congrats Tommy

Glock never works like that for me on any round, I reckon the majority should buy p250 maybe almost every round of the game, that'd be less wrong then not buying it enough but definitely on an eco, its so cheap.


I just report anyone remotely suspect. I think it requires 12 reports in 24hrs to get to overwatch.
12 thats stupid, so if a cheater plays one or two games in a night. Wait 24hrs they can go undetected until a VAC wave, if that picks it up.

I dont think its that straightforward anymore or at least I do hope not. You can report people who have never played a comp game, anyone who is rank 2 or so is fast tracked is what I read.
This is by far the most common ban after I report that shows on my previous games vac tracker. It can only examine comp games but it puts them front of the queue despite very few games/reports on file or so goes the theory. I hope theres some wildcard logic to choosing cases for older accounts also, not sure

I believe it carries over reports over some time or is not decreased by time as its so easy to have multiple accounts. All the same, some are very confident they wont ever get overwatch. Around Feb this year, almost all the cases I see switched to become far more obvious where it used to be a lot of people trying to hide it.
I think the system is overwhelmed, its down to vac and heuristics in majority
 
Congrats TommyV!!!

also nice pistol rounds......

Can't get out of GN3 at the moment - playing well but then every time I get 3 or 4 wins on the bounce with a decent team, I get 2 idiot teams and loose them despite top frag/MVP's etc. Seemed destined to be stuck there!

bitching and moaning about it this morning - Bang Gold Nova Master tonight!:D:D
 
Quick video from a couple of shots in the match above, thrown together for a mate.


Demo itself was a bit jerky, and I couldn't be bothered using startmovie to capture it. Maybe I could get back into this lark...
 
And solo'd back to mge.

On to dmg now. Weirdly I'm finding dust 2 the map for going solo. Previously it's been where all the toxic players hang out but I've found it good lately. Very often my team don't speak English but provided they can hit some shots it's not been bad. It's an easy enough map to play.

Will be back on this tonight mate. Lost my rank though due to inactivity !!
 
I don't get how the ranking system works in this game at all. Got my 10th win last night and it put me as MG2, yet a guy on my team who is far better than me and is normally always top is ranked GN2. How is that fair?

Yeah we played all 10 together but he was already ranked. I've only just started playing CS. That's why I'm a bit puzzled as my recoil control is a bit erratic so I have good and bad games were he top frags just about every game.
 
At last I've finally got rid of the xbox DVR crap. It was causing all sorts of issues in cs for me, constantly changing screen brightness and colour, weird lag issues ans stuttering.

I couldn't log into the xbox app to turn it off but finally found a video that shows how to do it in registry. All issues have gone thankfully.

here'e the vid if any one else is having issues with Xbox DVR.

I hate Dust2 or at least how it turns out. I hope it is the next map to get some revamp. I guess I hate how its played, too much apprehension doesnt really work imo, do or do not :p I'd rather play dust1 again now
Congrats on DMG

The first 10 is your best chance to set a high tide mark for your rank range I guess. It fast tracks your progress, if you won all ten you might end up LEM though it should also be harder at end of the ten.

If somebody has 1200 mm wins the game will probably move their rank ten times slower then the new player. I have about 750 but on 3 accounts
 
i see this game is still the toxic wasteland for solo players that it has always been. is there still no way to filter out Russia/Poland etc when queuing solo?

I find it's not quite as bad as it used to be although there's still a lot of smurfing in the silver ranks which makes for infuriating games.

I've seen tools for blocking some of the servers around the world. Someone suggested not too far back in this thread that the Spa ish servers matched them with some British people.

I do find it frustrating that I'm rarely matched with people from the UK. It's not a racial thing, just a comfort thing. That said had some great games with people from all over. Some guy was getting wound up about us losing some easy rounds and he was right but his negativity was frustrating. After I politely shut him down we went on to dominate and played well as a team.

I'm a bit mic shy for some reason and just call what I see when I think it's relevant during an actual game and it helps. Nothing worse than being the last guy though. Need a macro button to mute everyone when their info isn't helping.
